Marseille Skatepark

This is Marseille Skatepark in Marseille, France. Just like the previously posted Kona Skatepark, the Marseille park featured in one of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games, THPS 2. You can clearly see the large multi-bowl and the side-by-side pools. As I remember it, version 2 was the one where they introduced manuals; which changed the face of THPS forever!

More information available at the offical site (in French, naturally).

been there in 200 on a skatetour, one of the best concrete parks i’ve ever ridden!!! I’ve located some Madrid skateparks also, but they never appeared on THPS so i guess no one would be interested on them..

btw, if you ever go to skate there, watch your wallet and better leave the backpack in the car, and park the car far from the park..

Haha, I score again. Marseille was one of my fave levels in THPS2, I remember that with the newly-created manual you could rack up some huge combos in the game, especially if you grind the streetlamps.

As for those Madrid parks, I’m pretty sure the GSS people might take ‘em, skateparks look cool whether or not they were in a game.

I noted vincent’s comment that the real-world park is different from the in-game one. Actually, the shape of the bowls and the park’s boundaries are very accurate… this is the in-game map of Marseille. Feel free to compare it to the GoogleMap view.

The world has a certain reverential (or just morbid) fascination with the death sites of famous musicians. The pantheon of dead music legends is far too great (and depressing) to capture in just one article, but here’s a look at just some of the famous/infamous places where great talents have met untimely ends.
